Entropy of the afterlife

+0
−0

My world is based on the concept of afterlife, with a twist: people who died in other worlds are resurrecting in mine. Once in the afterlife world if they suffer another lethal injury or condition then they resurrect within the very same world, being unable to escape.

However, I try to stick to the standard laws and rules of physics for this world, as if it was happening to our very own universe.

I was not dealing with the entropy side of this concept, but now, after watching some great videos of MinutePhysics in the matter, I became interested.


So the question: if people start to be formed sporadically and randomly across the universe, with a possible conservation of matter and energy (=afterlife people are "spawned" by the transformation of inorganic material), then how does it affect the entropy level of the Universe?

Their body act upon as an energy transformer, so at one side, they speed up entropy increase - but on the other side, their bodies are much more ordered, decreasing entropy.

What is the case?
